Following powershell script will put InstalledUpdates.txt on your DESKTOP screen which has date, name, and description of your installed updates.
This script won't work, and you don't need 2 'EXIT's at the end though.
2 EXITS REQUIRED IN SOME CASES. Depends upon how one does the copy and paste. I've been doing this for awhile and have learned that the path of least resistance was to include the both. Saved me explanations later.
You're forgetting '\'s in the path as well:
Don't know what happened to the "\". They are in my original. I always test drive a script before posting. Perhaps a peculiarity of the forum software.
I'll run down the source of the missing backslashes. Here is a sample of what I got on my desktop:
Date : 08-Oct-12 20:26:56
Title : Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.137.1316.0)
Description : Install this update to revise the definition files that are used to detect viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be
removed.

thanks and now I'll try to find out why. Just checked the script on my skydrive site is correct.
Will now try to run down a couple of other possibilities,
